Gentlemen- sausage, mash (lots of butter, cream, seasoning, Parmesan), beef Demi glacé sauce with reduced port, carrots.

Was excellent!

[Blown2CV]

We rarly do TitH (snigger), but I've done it well before.



I just never remember the recipie.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Well that one certainly worked.

I never measure my batter mix and go on the principal of 3-2-1.

3 eggs, 2 tablespoons of plain flour and a dash of milk.

Works every time.

Looking at the recipie, this was

1 egg
2tbsp flour
300ml milk

you're replacing milk for eggs basically.

So it is! I hadn't noticed that.

When it comes to yorkies.... I like my proteins

Beef ribs again the other day, about £6 from Morrisons. They aren't "proper" beef ribs, just a throw away item from the butcher for stock but they are way too good for that.

First a quick trim up




Cross Section



Then a rub consisting of the usual type stuff; paprika, salt, pepper, sugar etc.



About 5 or 6 hours later at 120c ish in the oven and a few layers of BBQ sauce



Cross Section



They taste great, very tender and extremely rich and a bit fatty but well worth the cost!

I always thought you were meant to boil ribs before roasting/smoking? Look good though.

250g of Maredo's finest Filet

[ApOrbital]

Very nice.

Nope, never boil ribs! Just low and slow is all you need. For me boiling them changes the texture of the meat where as with oven etc. you still need to chew a bit.

i think it's the american bbq way but i could be misremembering. I like them fall-aparty though

Hilariously for those who are aware of Red's True BBQ they've just opened a small kiosk in a clothes shop in Leeds where you can't actually buy food, but you can go for a smell!! There is a Red's in Headingley though, big Leeds student area. Clever idea i thought. I can just imagine all the "we should go there now/later/tonight"!

Parsley butter baked Pollock wrapped in bacon on a 'bed' of roasted butternut squash, savoy cabbage, chestnut mushrooms and beans.

Pre wrap


Bowlalishous!





Bacon didn't brown well so next time I think I'll try it under the grill.

Looks great but needs a sauce.

Agreed Davey... something creamy would have been great... but cream is bad... naughty cream!
